You are gonna age one day and you are gonna do stuff to make yourself feel good and look good. And I just feel why not and I was like ‘you know what people take themselves too seriously what’s the big deal?’ That was my whole thought process behind it. Did I give it too much of thought? Oh my god first time…No! I just told the crew that listen I’m facing the camera and I’m gonna do this, you guys film it. It was the first time that I’m doing it and they just grabbed the opportunity and…”

I just feel so what? If you can help another woman, I told myself and Sameer also told me and Karan also told me…he says if you are gonna do a reality show like Bollywood wives, if you’re gonna do it then you gotta give your 100%. If you gonna hold back, don’t do it. You know we are putting our lives out there, we are putting ourselves out there and I just felt that it’s really not a big deal.”
